I say it as pneutella (new tella), if that is what you are asking. not nut ella. Well, not exactly "new" tella, but pretty close. that same u sound without the accent on the syllable (tell is the accented syllable).

I guess I just violated Bluebells "surely". I do have to admit that I won't eat the stuff. I don't mind hazelnuts in my christmas mixed nuts (they are a good offset to almonds and walnuts), but they aren't my favorites and I sure as heck don't want a spread of homogenized crushed hazelnut, TYVM. And I would be a true Yankee, from the northeast US.
